Teachings of Yogi Bhajan
Simran has no other evaluation except its own self-generating power. A man without Simran is just a monkey on the tree. It will never change. Your grit, your strength, your stability, your depth and your totality is based on your Simran. Simran is constantly tapping into the infinite. And then tapping into the Infinite you can have Seva. There are four fundamentals. Tell me where we have gone wrong. Bana (dress), Bani (prayers), Seva (selfless service) and Simran (meditation). We always say Simran the last. Because Simran is Tek. Simran is our own ‘Tek.’ Simran is our own strength. Simran is what we depend on. Simran is our companion. Our friend, our constant associate, our well-wisher. Our total support. Simran is the ambassador of God within us. It’s our reality. It is the congeniality of man and God. Whosoever will do Simran can do Seva. Whosoever can do Seva, can be understood through his Bani and can wear Bana. The order is actually reversed. The majority of people are very shaky when they wear Bana. Especially in the United States. Because Bana puts you right in front lines. The moment you wear Bana, then you have to perform to what Bana shows. If you do not match up with the performance of Bana, you will be nakedly known for how stupid you are. A person will say, "Hey, you look different, but you talk common. Your feelings and emotions are common. You don’t match up to who you are." Bana is a reminder to match up to who we are, to feel who we are, to understand who we are. And Bana is also an invitation to people. It tells people, "There goes a Sikh of the Guru! There goes a person with purity and piety, who stands for something. There is the Khalsa. If you are poor and you are miserable and you are not well, the reason is that you do not bring your subtle beauty out... It is the subtle beauty, which attracts wealth and prosperity. It is the subtle beauty, which is always in you till death. When that starts flowing, then God starts working for you. You are here to serve, to uplift, to be graceful, to give hope, and to give the divine love of your soul to all those in need. Through service you can win the world. Attitude of gratitude brings you opportunities beyond your concept. And when the prayer becomes the vibration of the soul, mind, and self, we can create a miracle. From liking to loving, to understanding, to total kindness, affection, and sacrifice- that is the fundamental base of what is called, "the sacredness of life.' We have to accept that our life is very sacred. Never think you can avoid pressure, because it is impossible. There is pressure being married; there is pressure being single. There is pressure in choosing a partner; there is pressure in losing a partner. Everything is pressure. The question is which way you want to go. The most serious part of life is direction. If we consider that physical health is the sustainer of life, then mental health may be considered as the real essence of life. When you speak positive there is no negative left to express and then there is a gap. In that gap comes then the super positive and that's what in English we call God. Therefore it is an attitude of gratitude. Attitude of gratitude is when you are grateful for every breath of life. Now people say, "What should we do when we feel something is wrong?" When there is something wrong, feel that thank God it is not you. When you feel there is something good, thank God that you have learnt to be something. And this way you can process your life and progress your life. What will happen? You will get high-spirited. You would rise and to fill the vacuum from nature will come the wealth and prosperity. Otherwise your poverty is proportionate to your emotionalism.
I am telling you that life has the most cruel confrontations, but within you, like in the burning desert, there is a little well of water which is cool and calm and it has a few palm trees with dates full on it. It is an oasis. So please do not lose the living life in the diagram of perpetual insecurity. Attitude of gratitude is the law of Divinity, it’s the law of Infinity. You should be grateful for any little good done to you and remember it. Because as much you remember the little good done to you, that little good will do you more good and so much good that all the goods will be at your feet. There’s a war between character and corruption. Sometimes character will win, sometimes corruption will win. It will go on and on and on. But if your motive is consciousness, character will always win. If the motive is ego, corruption will always win. There are no two ways about it. It is very unfortunate human concept that we only want the good part. We do not want to deal with the negative part. But I have never seen anything God created which is not positively negative and negatively positive. Power is in the remembrance. When your child is at the university, your power is in the remembrance as a mother, as a father, as a friend. It is psycho-magnetic communication. If you want to learn a thing, read it.
Tomorrow there can be only two things. Either tomorrow will be worst or it shall be best. If per chance it is best, thank profusely and very diligently the Almighty God for giving you one good tomorrow. But if it comes worst, thank very dearly for God allowing you to accept the challenge and make it good. If you start with that intention, your life shall NEVER be unhappy. There's nothing good or bad -- it's only thinking that makes it so. Be competent. Do not show that you are scared. Do not show you are irrational. Over and above that, never ever let anyone know that you are not willing to listen. Listen patiently, reply promptly, answer effectively and be in command. That is the price of living. And the best thing is, speak moderately, politely. Between two points a straight line is the shortest distance. Between two human beings, straight behavior is the shortest distance. Your value is not in how many experiences you have had. It is in your stability -- in how much sacrifice you can do. Your value is in how effectively and how consistently you can live for others. Your value is in how you can take command of yourself and others in any situation. Your value is in your capability of firmly planting yourself in the neutrality of your higher consciousness and standing as a pillar of strength, turning every negative to a positive. Your value is how quickly you are there when the call comes. Meditation is for your self. Meditation is not for somebody else. When you come for Sadhana (spiritual practice), you come for yourself. When you pray, you pray for yourself. Therefore, it is useless asking in prayer, "Get me a car." That’s not prayer. That is projecting a desire. "God, give me a car." Don’t ask it. Just say "God, God, God." And if God appears, then say, "What kind of God are you? Don’t you know what I am asking for?" I mean, if God doesn’t know what you need, who knows? The greatest thing, which we do not want to remember, is that we have destiny and we have fate. We have debts and credits from previous incarnations. It does not matter in what lifetime you did what. In a human life you can pay consciously. In an emotional life you have to pay unconsciously. People who do not have excellent patience and absolute gratifying tolerance shall never be right. You must understand, temperamentally and mentally, humanly and individually, you have to have commitment. If you can develop in you kindness of behavior, you will be rich, prosperous, beautiful, bountiful and blissful. Nothing can touch you. There’s no other way on the planet to free your soul unto the destiny and unto God but by serving those who need a hand—smiling at them, wiping away their tears, forgiving them.
My question is, “Are you happy?” If you are happy, you are wonderful. If you are not happy, you are worthless to yourself. Unhappiness will create tragedy one way or the other for everybody. If there is anything that’s a sin or anything evil, it’s unhappiness. You spread it, you chew it, you cook it, you manufacture it. You share it, you create it, you give it to each other like an infectious disease. You know two things: hurry and worry. You have sorrow today and you have a fear of tomorrow. You do not feel the presence of God. You did not feel it yesterday, you do not feel it today, and you don’t have a hope tomorrow. If you put your tomorrow in the hands of the One who created you, you shall not have sorrow. You have the birthright to be happy. You are not happy because you are competing and comparative with something over which you have no control. You have no control over Infinity. And if you have no control over Infinity, don’t try to control it. Flow with it, you can reach anywhere. Fight with it, you’ll be unhappy. Happiness is your birthright. It cannot be taken away from you. Happiness is a by-product of the totality of life which, has to be shared compassionately and kindly with all. Your biggest weapon is kindness and compassion. That requires intelligence and courage. That requires flexibility and intuition. When you do not remember God, God remembers you. And God is so great, whenever you call on Him, He answers you. You are alive by breath you are a product of breath, and your realization is through breath. The moment you are in touch with your breath, the universe pours into you. The radiance of your spirit can be measured according to how the name of God vibrates within you and around you. If your Sadhana (Spiritual Practice) is perfect, your spirit will be high. If you have forgotten to chant the Name of God, you will be in the doldrums. If you become low and depressed, it is only because you have not warmed up your machine in the morning; you have not done your Spiritual Practice… In the Western world where there is such a criss-cross of mental thought patterns, you must find a way to bring your mind under control. You must learn to bring the level of yourself to zero, whenever you like. This is practiced in Sadhana. Remember, you are you and you are not you. You are you in the frame of the defined finite, but you are not you, in the frame of the infinite. (See You Have 10 Bodies.)
Commitment is to experience your excellence. It is the highest state of consciousness. It provides an individual the opportunity to experience his excellence. But making the commitment is not enough. One has to live it. All acts of insanity are the responsibility of the sane people, because the sane people are lazy and they could not spread wisdom through to the insane people, to give them some hope. This is how I look at it. You have to live like gods; you have to be universal. You have to go and serve people. You have to spread hope and give them hope! God will do the rest, I can assure you. But go and give them hope. Let them not kill themselves. Society is feeling a great impact and requires comfort from anybody who can give it. The greatest thing on this earth is to serve the people of God. That is the highest act a man can do for any other man, but it has to be positive, not that you can go help somebody and you go and drag yourself down and get into the pit yourself. You have to be very firm, very honest, very constant, very insistent and very persuasive. In spite of that you have to be very sweet, very kind, very serviceful and very righteous. These things go together. The greatest education of a child is so that he or she can walk independently. All sickness, all shallowness, all pain, all miseries are the outcome of one source: keeping negativity within yourself. The purpose of all discipline, knowledge and scripture is that a person should be in a position to hold his values in consciousness. Be kind to everyone. Fulfillment comes when your elements coordinate with your frequency and create a magnetic field where there is no complaint, no weakness, no punishment, no priority to see anything negative, and you flow to give and share and uplift everyone you touch, see and feel. That is the basis of spirituality. Hope is brought to people by the people - people who believe in God and experience God consciousness. They are the image of hope and they go where there is darkness. The child has a mind, the child has a soul, the child has a destiny, the child has tomorrow. Child today has to learn strength is the way, courage is the way, divinity is the way. The power to obey is the power to command. Here in the West, to surrender, to be humble, to obey is considered to be slavery, but actually it is the power of the self. Only the most exalted, most powerful character can surrender. Life is a very tasteful thing. Life is a very enjoyable thing. Life is a very complete thing. Life is so infinite because it is part of that Infinity called God. The purpose of you is to recognize who you are. You are God. An artist is an artist. The art represents the artist. You are the art and God is the artist. You are the finite and God is the Infinity. God is the source and you are the recourse to represent that source. Religion is a science of reality and the art of happiness. We have to become reservoirs of energy. Our words, our sight, our presence should be in a position to change the frequency of a person who needs the jump-start. Do it with words, with touch, with sight and with prayer. It's the same thing. It doesn't matter what condition you are in. But it does matter how precise and clear you are to lift up the other person. When a totally complete, comfortable happy man touches an unhappy man, he brings happiness. Life is a sharing. We share our sorrows and we share our happiness. And if somebody is in sorrow, and we pour our happiness into that person, we make him happy. For that we need clarity of the mind. We need the strength of the soul. We need enlargement of our point of view. We need tolerance. We need courage. A person is limited according to his attachment. It doesn't matter what you have or what you don't have: it matters only how easily you can let go. In any communication, or in any situation, which you cannot confront because it is exaggerating, hot or aggressive, just change your breath. Breathe through the lips instead of through the nostrils. Exhale always through the nostrils. Inhale through the rolled lips and make it slow and long. It will slow everything as required. It will increase your sensitivity. It will give you 10 times more projection over the person you are talking to. Half of your life's burdens will go away if you just forgive your earthly parents. Just remember, they are good and they did their best. When you make your soul hungry, it corrupts your mind. A hungry soul will corrupt the mind and a corrupt mind will pollute your body. The food for the soul is Sadhana. It is not meditation that stops the mind. It is the surrender of the mind to the soul, and the soul to Truth. It is when you prefer the word of Truth to the word of your own intellect. This is the time for the virtue of your breath to be in control of yourself. This is the moment you have to create all power within yourself. Concentrate on the breath. Feel God within you with each breath. Feel the universe around you with each sound. Love is a self-acknowledgement. When I love myself, I can be so rich that I can love everybody. Never give a man your opinion; they get offended. Let him ask your opinion. What is a man? He is pure, living, shining ego. When you give your opinion, he has to counteract it; he has to. When he asks your opinion, he has to obey it because he asked. The same ego, which is going to reject is going to obey. Do you understand the psychology? If you choose to live in your excellence, then you must take responsibility for yourself. You must recognize the capacity of your mind, acknowledge yourself, and direct that relationship. You need a simple mind. You need the capacity for innocence before your own soul. You need warmth of heart and clarity of head. The power of prayer can bring peace to the earth and peace to the heart. The entire universe is just one person. There are no two persons. There is one link of a breath of life, which comes from me to you, to you, to you. It is all linked with one thing. When it is disconnected, you are gone. We are all one mala, one rosary, linked with one thread to the breath of life. Breathe in, mentally utter the word ‘Victory’ and exhale. You’ll find the strength of a hundred angels behind you. The soul is the highest self, body and mind are there to serve the soul. But when the two servants start serving each other, the Master goes hungry. That is why souls are hungry, empty and in pain. The soul can only find liberation if the mind and body serve it. It is the committed woman who can have a committed man. Man is committed in equal proportion to the woman as life goes on. If you commit two hundred percent, man will be committed two hundred percent. If you commit twenty percent, man will be committed twenty percent. What man seeks is a woman who will never let him down, who will never attack him as a madwoman, and who will always come through with wisdom. The attitude of gratitude is the highest way of living, and is the biggest truth, the highest truth. You cannot live with applied consciousness until you understand that you have to be grateful for what you have. If you are grateful for what you have, then Mother Nature will give you more. Ego does two jobs: Ego allows you to go for temptation and ego allows you to go for sacrifice. Ego works both ways. Meditation is the art of breaking habits, to purify the mind and to take care of day-to-day things. The mind is above time and space. If you decide not to complain, it will immediately compensate you with intuition. What is God? In reality it is your own positive Self, your higher Self, your universal Self, the Self which knows no defeat, the Self which can rise again and again and again like a wave in the ocean. Now what is intelligence? It is when your senses and your consciousness calculate on the spot. Senses will say one thing. Consciousness will say something different. And when you can put it together, two and two, that is intelligence. aTake one minute a day to be yourself, to breathe one breath a minute, to love yourself, to feel you are divine. In that one minute feel peace within yourself, feel peace with everybody. Prosperity has one basic law: Between you and your goodness don't create a gap. Then you have nothing to worry about. Then you have no suffering. When you can take a dive to the depth of Infinity, you can also understand and measure the height of Infinity. "Sat Nam." Sat is the truth, Nam is the identity, the noun, the personality, and your ego. Whenever your ego feels the light of God, you will be very humble. That is the test. You will be very compassionate. You will be very graceful. You will be very tolerant. You will not be rude. You can't be! When we cannot listen, we cannot speak. This head has a working mechanism. It only becomes elevated when you listen. When you can take a dive to the depth of Infinity, you can also understand and measure the height of Infinity. The purpose of life, the attitude of life, is to serve the soul. Soul does not relate to mind; mind relates to soul. It's a one-way traffic. I don't care what your circumstances and environments are, if you can change your daily average pressure by balancing it in the morning with Sadhana (Spiritual Practice), and once a week, come to Gurdwara (Temple) in a meditative, graceful, beautiful and pleasant fashion, then I don't think there is any possibility that you can be destroyed. Seva means doing a service, a service with no return. That is how grace gets multiplied, when you are not seeking any return. Why do we get up for morning Sadhana? Because we have to face the whole day, and we cannot face the day without a constant level of energy. People love you for three things only: wisdom, commitment, and consistency. Wisdom is the intuitive nature that allows you to give the right answer by listening within the question that is asked. For every question there is an answer in it. Commitment is the ability for your whole self to sustain its status in projected reality of action. Then people can trust you. Otherwise, it is like building a cozy bungalow on the top of a volcano. If you act like an earthquake or volcano, who will build upon you? Consistency is steadiness through time. Sadhana gives us sensitivity to know, to feel, and to touch. It gives us intuition to touch reality. The methods are three-fold: jappa, tappa, sanjam. Jappa is repetition. Tappa is the heat of central impulsation. Sanjam is merger through simran -- meditation on a very slow conscious breath. (See You Have 10 Bodies.) In the beginning was the Word. It doesn't say in the beginning was God. In the beginning was the Word because in the very beginning of every moment of time and space your word counts. Your whole destiny is written in the Word. When a human acts under impulse, as a mammal, as an animal, that human shall never be redeemed. You have to act under intuition. If that is not developed, then you have to act under your spirit. Life becomes totally worthless, because a slip of the mind is a slip of the destiny. You know, there are certain areas in life, which are very powerful. Once you just make a slip of the tongue, God knows where it is going to take you. Once you make a slip of the mind, there is no chance, because the driver, the controller, the essence of your life, is nothing but the mind. The four aspects of communication are: poke, provoke, confront and elevate. Smile in adversity; that is the first lesson. A wise man does not lead the idiot; he makes the idiot the wisest of all. Yesterday you had pain, right? That was yesterday. You faced it. It’s gone. It’s over. You are a winner. Why are you carrying it on to today in your memory? Why? Don’t you know the simple formula? What was yesterday was yesterday. It’s gone. You faced it. Do you know what love is? Love is an absolute power of self-totality. Love is not what you think love is. Love is a strength. Love is a goodness, like Godliness. There is no limit to it. There is no shortage in it. There is no bargaining in it. Where there is love, there is no question. Where there is a question, there is no love. Then it becomes a business. So - love is the totality of the self. My dear folks, if you cannot find yourself, you can never find anybody you want to find. When you are depressed, when you feel sad or shaky, take a cold shower. Then massage your body with a towel until you are red. Your disturbing thoughts will go.
Love is a power, not a logic, debate, discussion, argument or question. Use it wisely to elevate yourself to excellence. Valentine’s day. There is a secretary’s day, there is a mother’s day, there is a papa’s day, why we will do all this? It is billions of dollars’ worth of industry because we have yet not understood the depth in us, really what love is. Actually to be very honest with you we have not yet found out who we are and what I want to tell you is how easy, not in talk but in experience, how easy it is to find yourself within yourself... Whatever your outer structure is, I have nothing do with it. Those are sales talks; aspirin is aspirin you sell it under any name and brand, does not make any sense. If you can find your balance within yourself, you will be totally changed and a happy person. I am not promising you that life will not have trouble, but you won’t feel the trouble. When you take Tylenol, it doesn’t mean that your headache is gone. Headache is there, cause is there, but the feeling of that headache is gone. You understand that? When you love, there is no such thing as love. The feeling of love gives you hope, that you belong to somebody or somebody belongs to you, which is a status you enjoy. Without love, there is no God. Without love, there's no spirit. Without love, there's no prosperity. Without love, there's no sincerity. Without love, there's no growth in you. There is no happiness without love. Love is the key to everything you are in and you are out. Love is a total state of mind of tolerance. Total tolerance is love. Love has no limit. When it has a limit, then it is not love. In this life, there are challenges. These challenges challenge how much sweetness is in you and how much sweetness you want to share. Meditate. Any dirt of ugliness in your mind can only be wiped out by meditation. Get rid of them. What is meditation? Calming yourself and looking toward the infinity of God. That is meditation; it is simple. Your beauty, your duty, your makeup, your knowledge, your degrees, your education, and whatever else you may want to use to your advantage are based on only one thing: From beginning to end, you act as a woman in absolute grace. If you give your word, let the entire universe fall before you, but let your word stand. If I love somebody, then I have no question to ask, no answer to listen for. Love is beyond questions and answers, love is beyond give and take—nobody has taken anything, nobody has given anything. Love is beyond time and space, love is Infinity; love is God in itself. Love gives you power to merge, from finite to Infinity. Love gives you power to trust, from nothing to everything. Love gives you power, the most powerful prayer between you and your Creator. Love gives you vastness, as vast as there can be. Love gives you the hold, the experience, and the touch with your own Infinity, as beautiful as there can be, Love is that surrender. When you surrender at the lotus feet of the master, you become the master. When you become the master, you surrender your universe to the Universe. Then you become divine. When you surrender your divinity to the Infinity, you become Infinite. That is the Law of Love. What is love? When you feel and experience selflessness within yourself and you can vibrate for someone, then you are fulfilled with love. This is the highest state of individual consciousness. Love is the experience of selflessness within oneself. No one else is involved. Love is a power beyond the being because love is a totality of the being. Love is not a business. "I'll bring you flowers, you give me a kiss." It's not a commodity. It does not need approval or appreciations (otherwise it must depreciate). The state of love is beyond this. Come what may, neither is there "Yes" or "Nay." Love is the most secure place in an individual. It is a very secure, very deep, very curative healing. It has no pain. Love doesn't know pain. It's not small. It's not limited. It has no argument. It's beyond the beyond. The highest state of security of an individual is when a person is in the state of love. It is a consciousness, which can penetrate through anything for that thing and nothing can penetrate in it. Love means giving. Self-sacrifice means that you accomplish for someone at the expense of yourself. Love is the experience within one's self of one's own selflessness. That's why love is God. No one can explain love because love is ecstasy. Love is the essence of an ever-longing devotion. Love does not change. If love changes, it is not love. Sacrifice is the beginning of every love. One must subject one’s self in order to receive an object. Man cannot live without love. He must love and also he must be loved. Love is the highest fulfillment on every level. When you are insecure you do not love, and when you do not love you do not live. You do not love your lust. When someone caters to your emotions you feel you are in love, but in reality love is the opposite of this. When you sacrifice your emotions for someone, then that is love. Love is an experience of selflessness within oneself. Love is a sacrifice and sacrifice is real life. When you sacrifice you realize you are alive. Those who are dead when they are alive, how can they ever die? But it is difficult to commit suicide when you're alive. It is not a physical suicide – that is a coward’s act, but suicide of the ego on the altar of the Universal Self. You must do it for yourself. Then you do not know death. You live forever. The mind is subtle, its creativity is absolute, its power is infinity...Whenever the mind is tuned into passion, and not consciousness, the net result will be desire. But once you become conscious, you will have one desire only: to be noble. Blessed are those who have learned to bless themselves. Divine are those who have God in their hearts. Greatness belongs to those who have shouldered the weight of all humankind. Most beloved of God are those who are peace, at peace, share peace and bring peace to all. A yogi is a person who can totally amalgamate himself with you at your level, experience it and realize it, and then pull you up. Every human has a mind. With the mind you have a mission. It has to be motivated by your attitude and manner because every mission has a great magnitude. What is a woman? Woman is the flowing river of spirit. On its banks dwells a male, a man. It is the flow of that river, that spirit, that woman is clean, healthy and constant, the dweller shall not leave the dwelling. That dwelling will turn itself into a city, a town, a capitol. Woman has to understand her role. Her role is not to worship God; her role is to be the very self of God. Her oneness can affect and open every heart. If every woman makes every man who is born to respect, respect, respect, then there should be no cruelty, no disorder, no mental cruelty, no crime on this whole planet, the world would be just heaven. The noble woman is the goddess which Almighty God worships. It is the altar to which God bows. It is the grace, which produces God's soul. It is the ultimate infinity of all virtues. It is the power of all kindness and blessing of God, and the noble woman is the essence of all prayers. One thing shall never betray a woman: her own light and her own radiance as a woman. You must look beyond the mirror! You are the spirit, you are the soul, you are the self. You are the honor, you are the source of all sources. You are the redeemer of all redeemers. From you, this creation is born. It is required of the woman to deal with a man in direct, straight communication. It takes about three months of this habit to take to the style. No claim, no blame – that is the art of a woman. The science of the woman is "always keep the spirit going. The art of a woman is: never claim anything and you will never get blamed for anything." If you want to live rich and be taken care of, do not claim anything. You believe woman is the chick and I believe she is the eagle. Her sway and her grace is keeping the Earth in its own place. When you lean on a man, he feels the energy and he feels the fulfillment that for once in his human life he is doing something. Men are very dedicated. It is basically in the habit of the male to lean on the woman. When you make him feel great, and you lean on him, that does not mean he thinks of you as dumb, weak and frustrated. No, instead he accepts you as a capacity in which he can do something. When you make him do something, he feels very loving, very grateful, very cozy towards you. You have not learned to live by the decoration, beauty and make-up of grace. You have learned to look beautiful by your make-up. And you cannot improve on the work of God. Your make-up does not make any sense. That's why, spending all the money on make-up, still you are miserable. Nobody can improve on what He made, the Great Creator, the artist, whose creation you are. If you do not accept your own dignity as a woman, all external trappings shall mean nothing. It has nothing at all to do with any man or with any relationship. Once you accept your own dignity, the whole world will come to you. Give to God what belongs to God. It is called Dasvandh: one-tenth of your time, income, thoughts, projection, communication, belongings, and one-tenth of every act. Every act is blessed in which one-tenth belongs to God. A woman has to learn the fundamental truth that she is she and she has her own design, her own consent, her own self, her own life, her own projection, and her own beauty. I ask every man who would seek peace to realize that peace doesn’t come by protests and rallies. Peace comes by peaceful actions, and so long as those born of the mother will not learn to respect the woman, there shall not be any peace on this planet. The day the woman will not be exploited on this planet, there shall be peace on this Earth. May you bless yourself by the strength of your grace. May you be beauitiful and bountiful by the strength of your commitment. May you be prosperous, sharing, and loving by the strength of your truth. May this day bring the change so you can elevate yourself to your righteousness to serve others, to uplift and share your joy. May your birthright of happiness be that you dwell in God, be conscious and grateful for being a Human Being. Sat Nam I ask every man who would seek peace to realize that peace doesn’t come by protests and rallies. Peace comes by peaceful actions, and so long as those born of the mother will not learn to respect the woman, there shall not be any peace on this planet. The day the woman will not be exploited on this planet, there shall be peace on this Earth. Women must learn the ancient sacred yogic technology so that instead of being called “chicks” they could grow up to become "eagles" that fly to the heavens! It's gracious to be humble. Never be right or wrong, always be neutral. Speak not through the positive mind or the negative mind, but from the neutral mind. And whenever you have to confront a calamity or a pleasure, take the altitude. Adjust the attitude. Do not react right away. Spirituality is facing yourself with a smile when life confronts you. Love is a self-acknowledgement. When I love myself, I can be so rich that I can love everybody.
The process of self-healing is the privilege of every being. Self-healing is not a miracle, nor is self-healing a dramatization of the personality as though you could do something superior. Self-healing is a genuine process of the relationship between the physical and the infinite power of the soul. If we can master the use and command of the mind, we can enjoy this world and live truthfully, gracefully, and prosperously. You have to understand the purpose of life. The purpose of life is to do something which will live forever. The purpose of communication is to gain the trust, the infinite trust. Therefore, you should speak only what you can prove and it should be spoken in such a way that the other person can hear it. You do not understand your features. Your features are not your beautiful nose, your beautiful cheeks, beautiful lips, and so on.These are not your features.Your features are your beautiful behavior, your beautiful character, your beautiful health, your beautiful spirit, your beautiful advice, your beautiful wisdom, your beautiful inspiration. Love knows no pain, no sacrifice is too much for it; it is an absolute one-pointed state of mind toward the wellbeing of the other person who is called lover or beloved. You may lie to the whole world but never lie to a child because you will hurt his innocence and he will come back on you a hundred times more powerfully later on. The only thing the body and mind are given to you for is your soul, the spirit. When you are serving your soul, you are subtle, calm and peaceful. Whenever you are serving your ego, you are fearful and afraid. Man is a social animal. One who socializes with compassion and kindness is a human. One who socializes with compassion, kindness and grace is an angel. Grace will come to you, glory will come to you, happiness will come to you. Everything will come to you when you will act like God. God gives, never takes anything. God loves everyone. God lives in you. God guards you. A car without brakes is not worthy of riding. A consciousness, which cannot discriminate between right and wrong is not worthy to be called human. And a personality, which pledges itself and cannot keep its individual privacy is not worthy of being reborn as a human. So, you are what you eat. And your power is what you speak. Your strength is what your manners are. And your prosperity is based on mutuality. That’s how you spell it. Your relationship is based on service. And your trust with people is based on your purity. Your impact is in your identity. And your happiness is in your royalty and reality mixed together. These are the principle factors you have to deal with. Your mind is your mind. It is in between the body and the soul. It is your friend and servant. It is not your master. Whosoever has his mind as his master shall never find the Master. Master is found when Master declares to you, that you have found the Master. When the Master trusts you, when the Master puts his hand on your shoulder and walks, making you as a staff of his, then you have found the Master. The strength behind communication is in its quality, not in its quantity. Your talk should be that of quality, not of quantity. You should use small sentences, which say a lot. Or, you should say a lot in small sentences. The act of kindness is such a powerful weapon that it is endless in its scope. You can never run out of kindness. Kindness is the supreme gift of the elevated person. It is the beauty of the beauty of the beauty. Any woman on this planet who values herself as a woman is great, and she is a giver of life. And when you are a giver of life, what more is there? The greatest thing you can praise is yourself. As you stand before the mirror and look into it, you look to yourself as a woman. You look to yourself as a graceful woman. You look to yourself as a competent, intelligent woman. You can give thanks for it. It should be so automatic with you. It should be so real. Prosperity is only stopped by fear otherwise everybody is born to be rich. Prayer is when the mind is one-pointed and man talks to Infinity. Meditation is when the mind becomes totally clean and receptive, and Infinity talks to the man. Life is very simple and a simple life is very beautiful. When you walk straight then God goes round and round you. When you walk round and round then God stands to the side and says, "Okay, baby, do what you want to do.” Time and space cannot play any part between two loving hearts. Whether you are a medical doctor or a chiropractor or another type of healer, life has a challenge that you have to be egoless. You have to just become, without self, a healer at that moment, for that purpose. You have to develop the frontal lobe so that your personality is controlled. And you have to control your upper palate so that the hypothalamus and thalamus can be controlled. If these two things are developed, you can read between the lines, you can see through walls, you can intuitively be alert. Human love is for one thing only; to love your soul. Then the Infinite world around you will be in love with you. You will never be given time to prepare yourself to face a challenge. You have to act spontaneously. Therefore you must develop your intuition, and you must develop your sixth chakra command center, to match the need. Nobody in his personal identity can find infinity, but everybody who is in love and guides and goads themselves with a discipline shall definitely reach that ultimate end of life. That is self-fulfillment. And when you are self-fulfilled then you have gratitude and that gratitude will bring you prosperity. The question is, 'Are you spiritual or are you not?' The truth is you are. The reality is you don't believe it. Our intelligence tells us that heavens are within us and our discipline should be there to give us infinite tolerance to love, to exalt, to serve, to befriend, and to be compassionately caring.
Walking tall in exalted self to help and serve others, is the Khalsa way which we have chosen. In this chosen way by your will, it lets you manufacture God's will, and serve all. When you serve all, all shall serve you. The Almighty will serve you at the call of your nature, if your nature is compassionate, compassionate, compassionate. That's the only reality we have, that's the only tomorrow we have.
You all want power. Power comes from prayer and now the question arises: what is prayer? Let me tell you the definition of prayer and then you can decide how much prayer you can do. Prayer is the attunement of the mind into the higher consciousness and into the unknown. It has nothing to do with what you say and what you don't say. It is just attunement, mental attunement, and that is where the power is. What do we do when we are in trouble? We start doing the prayer. When we are not in trouble, who cares? Our prayers are seasonal. Prayer is the power. One who can do the prayer can be very powerful because prayer makes the entire elements serve that person. Gifts will come to that person. Whosoever will give to that person will be gifted hundredfold, thousand fold. That's also the beauty of it. God bless us with peace of mind, tranquility, and prosperity. By Thy grace and divinity, give us peace of mind, peace of heart, peaceful living and peaceful environments. Give planet Earth a peaceful time. May the drums of war start the drums of peace. Sing the glory of Thee and all of the humanity. We pray to Thee, bring us and make us capable to preserve the peace on the planet Earth. Sat Nam.
"A wise woman is never old. She is a place of worship." Yogi Bhajan "Woman without reverence has no strength. You must demand reverence.

Women create our family culture. The family culture influences our communities, the way women relate to others on a local scale has a radiating effect on everyone. His goal was to uplift women; to teach women to collaborate rather than compete with other women; to transform women from "chicks" to eagles; to teach women to command respect by respecting and honoring themselves; and to do this through self-discipline, self-reflection and self-correction.
Women's Camp is a great mix of yoga, meditation, chanting, morning Sadhana, illuminating discussions, discovering wonderfully healthful recipes and delicious organic vegetarian food. The teachings are designed to give reliable, repeatable results in a short period of time--perfect for the busy women with children, a job, and a life! The physical exercises, though they can be rigorous and challenging, are considered primarily as preparation for the crown jewel: meditation. Regular application of these tools allow for the unloading of the subconscious, which results in a clearer, quieter mind and a more relaxed experience of living life. More.
